GROUP WORK DYNAMICS2
Introduction
In this reflective assignment, I will be discussing the two groups that were formed for
undertaking a project. In this reflection, I will talk about both the project group, which is the
actual group formed for the project and the client group – the group created within the project. I
will discuss the group dynamics and the leadership qualities of both the groups. I will also
highlight my own experience as both a facilitator and a member of the group.
1. Group work dynamics
The group work dynamics refer to the influence of the roles and responsibilities carried
out by the members on the group (Forsyth, 2018). The group dynamics depends on the kind of
communication that takes place within the group, the management of conflicts and leadership
amongst others. For our project, we formed two groups with the same members – the task group
and the treatment group. The task group was the project group whereas the treatment group was
the client group that comprised members having AOD issues (Agazarian, 2018).
2. Communication
At first, I will discuss the communication process of the project group or the task group.
We formed the task group with five members including Cindy, Isha, Justinah, Yakshana and I.
the communication within the group was quite smooth and effective although there were some
initial issues. Group communication involves the fundamental processes involved in any kind of
communication such as sending and receiving messages, seeing, hearing, touching and smelling.
As Johnson and Johnson (2017) explain, group communication process involves noise, feedback
